COALFACE WEDNESDAY. Firstly, apologies for not being too active on here. Something I am determined to make more regular and turn into one of my better habits! I introduce you to Coalface Wednesday. The perceived ‘hump’ in the week and an opportunity to share my findings on everything PE, children and activity related. You see, and many of you won’t know, that as Inspired Schools has grown over the previous 8 years, I made a personal vow to myself……. In amongst the managing, paperwork, meetings, building new projects - I would always remain at the Coalface, working with children directly, at least once a week. I have stuck to this every week as I believe it keeps me at the Coalface, in touch with education, the ever evolving landscape and in some crazy way keeps me ‘down with the kids’. First Coalface - probably one of the most controversial things that I dare talk about…… LUNCHTIME FOOTBALL I get the concerns and issues raised every day by many schools we work with; - Too competitive - Longer First Aid queues 🚑 - Issues to sort out in the afternoons - Balls flying everywhere ⚽️ ⚽️ But today has reinforced my belief in the value of that most controversial thing we talk about ⚽️ Man this game is competitive, all organised by the Year 6’s and it’s massively important! The look I receive by many when I mention ‘don’t worry what the score is’!! I see in front of me a child score a wonder goal and wheel away celebrating, finishing with the Ronaldo celebration, I see a keeper directing his defenders, players celebrating and children consoling. I see a Messi dribble. For them this is a World Cup Final 🏆 If I could ask these guys in 10 years time what their most favourite part of school was I think I would know what some of them may say. So…. Let them dream, let them play or just not practical and too many challenges and barriers?

What assurances can our (possibly newly reinstated?) MLAs give and how do they plan to tackle the issues? So many questions, were looking forward to all the answers next week!

TRYING TO GET EXTRACURRICULARS ON FOR R1 The ideal is to have ECs that don’t immediately flag “I’m trying to get into b-school by doing this.” Choose something that is a natural extension of your experience or background. If you’re already into football/soccer - how about helping underprivileged children find the means to play soccer after school? Another option is to pick something aligned with your goal as stated in the application. And, if possible, pick something that will culminate in some observable/anecdotal or quantifiable positive impact. For example, a being on the board/committee of a fundraiser that takes place before your application deadline. Would ideally provide a good story that illustrates your character, and helps them get to know you as a person, if used for an essay or interview response.

Have you ever been working on a project or trying to solve a complex problem and thought, “There must be someone, somewhere, who’s already figured out how to do this”? 🤔 If so, you’re not alone, and a community of practice might just be just what you need – which is why we’ve created a brand new course to teach you how to build them!

My morning read… working at the boundaries means making ways to listen and observe both internally and externally. Boards can observe their organization by simply walking through the doors. By showing up without pre-formed questions and the only agenda being to learn. Maybe a town council decides to spend a Saturday afternoon at the municipal ball fields or campgrounds. Or maybe they decide to visit another community to see how their new skatepark is working out. By going outside of the board room together board members have generative conversations and time to reflect… together… and without the pressure of an agenda.
